I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 518 - 292: An Unexpected Turn

Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, Reception Hall.

At this moment, in the grand hall, several Divinity Transformation cultivators were all looking incredulously at the Soul Absorption Bottle in Lin Baoqing’s hand, exchanging glances.

"Shopkeeper Lin, are you sure that this Soul Absorption Bottle contains the Yin Soul of Ancestor Yin Jiong?"

"Ancestor Yin Jiong, Ancestor Xueming, they’re both dead!"

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

...

The Divinity Transformation cultivators seemed to have heard an utterly fantastical tale, repeatedly questioning Lin Baoqing with disbelief on their faces.

Lin Baoqing glanced at them, gently placed the Soul Absorption Bottle at the center of the table, and said with a calm smile, "The Soul Absorption Bottle is right here. If any of you venerable elders wish to verify it, feel free to test it, and then you’ll know whether it’s true or false."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. They naturally understood that what Lin Baoqing said was true, but Ancestor Yin Jiong was a Void Refining Old Demon skilled in Soul Techniques, possessing the mysterious and extremely troublesome Netherworld Realm. If one were to inspect his Yin Soul, they feared he might cast secret Soul Techniques and attempt to possess them in return!

"This..."

"You gentlemen need not worry, Ancestor Yin Jiong’s Yin Soul has already been sealed within the Soul Absorption Bottle, and his strength has been diminished by ninety-nine percent." Lin Baoqing, seeing their hesitation, spoke up to assure them.

"This statement is indeed true! However, if you wish to inspect his Yin Soul, it’s best to have a Magical Artifact that can defend against Divine Sense attacks."

"That’s right, fellow Daoists, whoever has a Divine Sense defensive artifact can step forward and inspect it."

...

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Although they were all Divinity Transformation cultivators, none could guarantee they could withstand Ancestor Yin Jiong’s Soul Technique attacks. However, if someone had a magical device defending against Divine Sense attacks, they could confidently and boldly inspect it.

Lin Baoqing smiled slightly, looking at the Divinity Transformation cultivators: "Elders, if no one verifies it, this matter..."

"I’ll do it! I happen to have a Spiritual Protection Device, unafraid of Ancestor Yin Jiong’s Yin Soul." Before Lin Baoqing finished speaking, a white-robed Divinity Transformation cultivator interrupted.

Everyone turned their gaze to the white-robed cultivator, and it turned out to be Zhuang Baolun, the same one who had expressed skepticism earlier.

"Elder Zhuang, please feel free to proceed!" Lin Baoqing smiled slightly, gesturing invitationally.

Zhuang Baolun nodded and immediately took out a shimmering silver Heart-Protecting Mirror from his storage bag. The mirror was neither gold nor silver but exuded a unique charm. He raised his hand, and the Heart-Protecting Mirror flew towards the Soul Absorption Bottle.

The Soul Absorption Bottle, enveloped by the Heart-Protecting Mirror, swiftly flew back into Zhuang Baolun’s hand. Holding the Heart-Protecting Mirror, his Divine Sense probed into the Soul Absorption Bottle.

Zhuang Baolun’s Divine Sense roamed within the Soul Absorption Bottle, when suddenly, his expression changed, and he exclaimed in shock, "This is..."

Before Zhuang Baolun finished speaking, he suddenly felt a powerful aura attempting to escape from the Soul Absorption Bottle. This aura, like a tentacle, instantly clung to his Divine Sense, trying to break through the barrier. Luckily, at this moment, the Divine Soul Heart Mirror took effect, bouncing it back.

Zhuang Baolun was startled, immediately activating a Spell to retrieve his Divine Sense, yet the aura clung onto his Divine Sense like maggots in one’s bones, making it impossible for him to extricate himself.

Seeing this, everyone was startled, all taking action to collectively suppress the soul power of Ancestor Yin Jiong’s Yin Soul.

"Elder Zhuang!" Lin Baoqing exclaimed in shock, but Zhuang Baolun’s face was pale, and he slumped to the ground, a look of lingering fear on his face.

None of them could have anticipated that Zhuang Baolun would suffer such a blow, and under their very noses no less. This left them both alarmed and anxious, for Ancestor Yin Jiong, a Refining Void Old Demon, still wielded such tremendous power with just a remnant of his Yin Soul.

Fortunately, under their collective suppression, Ancestor Yin Jiong’s Yin Soul was completely confined back into the Soul Absorption Bottle, with the soul body severely injured, leaving it powerless to struggle. In the Reception Hall, several Divinity Transformation cultivators stared in shock at Elder Liu, who was holding the Soul Absorption Bottle, exchanging glances, each finding it difficult to believe.

"Elder Zhuang, are you alright!" Lin Baoqing was the first to react, quickly stepping forward to help up Zhuang Baolun.

Zhuang Baolun, his face pale, shook his head with a wry smile: "It’s nothing, just a little damage to my Divine Sense."

"The soul power contains a strong Netherworld Law, it’s indeed Ancestor Yin Jiong’s Yin Soul, without a doubt!" another Divinity Transformation cultivator concluded based on the attributes of the soul power.

"It’s truly Ancestor Yin Jiong’s Yin Soul!"

"Ancestor Yin Jiong really has fallen!"

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent. Although they had already guessed the outcome, when faced with its reality, they still found it hard to believe. Both Ancestor Yin Jiong and Ancestor Xueming of the Nine Demons Sect had perished.

"Elders, it has been confirmed that the Soul Absorption Bottle indeed contains the Yin Soul of Ancestor Yin Jiong. I presume no one will doubt the source of that batch of Spirit Treasures anymore!" Lin Baoqing said with a smile to the Divinity Transformation cultivators present.

"Indeed, but isn’t this senior really willing to reveal his identity?" a Divinity Transformation cultivator asked somewhat regretfully.

"Yes, this senior possesses high cultivation, and having eradicated two Old Demons from the Southern Wilderness, he is truly the number one person in the Southern Wilderness. We truly wish to behold the style of such a mystical hero!"

"This senior avenged several destroyed sects and the millions of lives in the Southern Wilderness. He is the guardian deity of our Southern Wilderness land! Sadly, we do not know his revered name!"

"This senior’s cultivation is unfathomable, but it’s a pity we cannot behold his true appearance."

"We all wish to know who this esteemed senior truly is."

Everyone looked at Lin Baoqing, probing and questioning eagerly, their faces showing expressions of admiration for this superior being who could eliminate Ancestor Xueming and the Refining Void Old Demon, paying their respects.
